TUF 1 was by far my favorite. In my opinion, it's the only season where the majority of the characters were interesting AND could fight. I think the follow up seasons had a bunch of guys who weren't that good. Of course each season had some good fighters, but I felt that in TUF 1 almost all of those guys could kick butt (Hence almost all of them are now fighting as regulars in the UFC).

my fave ultimate fighter was 2, but 4 cracked me up b/c of that dude they called captain miserable, i can't remember his name right now.

like an idiot I would laugh my ass off whenever there was a food fight or whatever, when they were probably told to do it. or when ed herrmann was peeking through the door and some guy goes 'the ginger ninjaaaa' i was on the floor.

the rest of the time i was coveting all their sweet workout facilities and awesome sparring gear. you guys should see the Y where I work out, you would laugh your asses off. my dojo has free weights and a heavy bag, and a squat rack but that's it at the moment.

A lot of people overrate(not overhype) TUF 1. I understand that it produced the best fighters out there, but you have to remember that it was about two years ago. These fighters have developed to what they are today. On the show, like every other season, we saw boring to decent prelims, decent to good semis and a good finale. Just like every season. Stop overrating it. Its not as good as people make it out to be.
